This document presents information on smart textiles. It discusses that smart textiles can sense and react to environmental conditions using sensors, actuators, and controlling units. It classifies smart textiles into three categories: passive using only sensors, active using sensors and actuators, and very/ultra smart using sensors, actuators, and controlling units. Some end uses of smart textiles include heat protection, medical applications, military, fashion, comfort, aviation, and space research. Methods of incorporating smart textile components include the fiber spinning, yarn/fabric formation, and finishing levels. Examples of sensors for recording human physiological parameters and in composite structures are provided.

3. Smart textile
• Smart textiles means intelligent textiles.
• During the last decade, textiles have entered a new era, one of
the is smart textiles.
• It can sense and react to environmental condition or stimuli.
• It can also sense and respond in a predetermined way.

4. Components
• There are three components
in smart textile material
– Sensor
• Sensors provide a nerve system
to detect signals.
– Actuator
• Actuators act upon the signals.
– Controlling Units
• Controlling Units produce an
appropriate output.

5. Classification
• There are three categories
depending on functional activity:
• Passive smart textile
– Using sensor only.
– Only sense the environment change.
• Active smart textile
– Using sensor and actuator.
– Sense and react with environmental
changing.
• Very or ultra smart textile
– Sensor, actuator and controlling unit
present in textile.
– Can sense, react and adapt
themselves to environment.

6. End Use
• Smart textile used for the
following broad categories:
– Heat protection
– Medical application
– Military application
– Fashion
– Comfort wear
– Aviation
– Space research
This garment is used to monitor
ECG waves and Heart rate levels.
This can be used for sports,
fitness, and medical purposes
Spacesuit
Technology

7. Methods of making smart textile
• Components of smart textile
may be acting from fiber optics,
phase change material, shape
memory material etc.
• Those components from an
integrated part of textile
structure and can be
incorporated into the substrate
at any of the following levels.
– Fiber spinning level
– Yarn / Fabric formation level
– Finishing level

8. Sensor for recording
• Life shirt which are weaved
by special technique with
optical fiber.
• This optical fiber transmit
human physiological
parameter.
• Also intelligent shirt
monitors presence of
poisonous gases in the air
and protect human body from
it.

9. Sensor for recording
• In construction, sensor
laid in composite
structures can be used to:
–Monitor strain and
temperature through out a
composite structure
–Detection of crack in
composite structure
–Monitor concrete
structure.
